What's the story with this guy?
I never listened to him, but based on everything I've read about him I imagine he sounds like a discount Tom Waits. Am I right or is he actually good?
I only know Red Right Hand from Scream and Dumb and Dumber.

he looks like a fucking alien and that makes him "interesting" to people

Just listen to him, it's not exactly difficult to listen to music. If you really wanna know, just listen to his discography instead of coming here with your assumptions, retard

He started in punk and had a gnarly scream before he crooned.

major pseud, I'm disappointed that you compared him to tom waits but it's unfortunately somewhat accurate. He wishes he was as cool as tom waits

He has his moments though, but overall not worth delving into his discography outside the obvious songs people know

/thread

I heard him compared to tom waits a bunch and decided to listen, he's nowhere near as good. A lot more morose and pretentious with a healthy dose of midlife crisis rock. Loves writing verses but doesn't really have an ear for hooks or production, known as the literary guy who english majors like but when he tried writing books they were absolutely terrible.

Start with Your Funeral My Trial and Tender Prey

But his obvious songs are generally his worst
Why even talk about shit you have no clue about

>Loves writing verses but doesn't really have an ear for hooks or production, known as the literary guy who english majors like but when he tried writing books they were absolutely terrible

he was a lot more hooky and less talky pre-push the sky away (assuming you started listening to him from that period)
